A special respect exists between Dale Earnhardt
and Chevrolet as a result of their long, sucessful relationship with each other.

Earnhardt is very loyal
to Chevrolet. Earnhardt even owns a Chevrolet dealership, Dale Earnhardt Chevrolet,
located in Dale's home-state of North Carolina. Earnhardt has driven a Chevrolet in almost
every season of his illustrious career. Only three of Dale's 70+ career victories
have come in a make other than a Chevrolet, those being in Fords in 1982 and 1983.

Considering the success of Dale Earnhardt's relationship with Chevrolet you can bet
that in the future, as long as Chevrolet is involved in Winston Cup competition, Dale will
be racing one!

Earnhardt says newer cars too delicateMarch 24, 2000

Dale Earnhardt's tone was nostalgic for the way things may never be again in NASCAR.

In the 1980s, the peak of his roguish, slam-bang image,
"We raced cars that were basically bullet-proof," he said. "We'd scuff the
wall with them or get into a bump-up, and you could still race and win."

Today's cars are so sophisticated and so sensitive, they're
almost as delicate as prototype sports cars.

"If I raced an '86 Monte Carlo against a 2000 Monte
Carlo," Earnhardt said, "I could probably rough up that new Monte Carlo a little
bit and beat him because I'd have him bent-up a little bit, and I'd still be going
straight."
